If you can turn your back
And walk out
On all that we've had
And forget the times together
Both the good and bad
If you believe the words you're telling me
Then, honey, I'm not sad
Cause the worst you ever gave me
Was the best I ever had
You were always the one who cried
When there were tears to be shed
So many times you left me
Just wishing I was dead
But you could always make me smile
Even though times were bad
And the worst you ever gave me
Was the best I ever had
So I wouldn't have to leave
And thinking I was mad
When the worst you ever gave me
Was the best I ever had
I suppose I ought to break down
And beg you to stay
And plead with your reason
Don't you leave me this way
But I never used to have to
Make you want more
So just leave me with my memories
Of how it was before
When we never used to have enough
Hours in the day
And we never had to search for
Things that we could say
So I wouldn't have you leaving
Thinking that I was mad
When the worst you ever gave me
Was the best I ever had
Yes, the worst you ever gave me, honey
Was the best I
Ever had
